| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, bold numeral '5' dominating the central field, with the denomination abbreviation 'Kč' positioned to the upper right. Superimposed across the lower portion of the numeral is a detailed architectural vignette depicting an industrial or civic building with prominent chimneys and a tower, rendered in a constructivist style characteristic of interwar Czechoslovak design. The mint mark 'G' appears below the central motif. A beaded border frames the entire composition along the inner rim. |

| Additional information |
Trial strikes from the early Czechoslovak Republic are poorly documented in contemporary mint records, and this 1925 piece sits in that gap — produced as the young state was still working through the practical problems of establishing a coherent coinage system after breaking from Austria-Hungary in 1918. The Prague Mint had only recently been brought to operational capacity, and experimental pieces from this period were rarely preserved through official channels.
KM# Pn10 is among a handful of 1925 pattern and trial issues for the 5 Korun denomination that never advanced to circulation striking.
